Injustice 2: 10 Characters That Should've Been Included

6. Plastic Man

The DCU has no shortage of extendy bendy heroes with questionable tastes in fashion, and Plastic Man just so happens to be one of them.

Created in 1941 but never really popularised until Grant Morrison took the rains on JLA, Eel O'Brian is one of the more lighthearted characters to have graced the ranks of the league. As the name suggests, Plastic Man is extremely malleable, but also happens to be one of the strongest members of the Justice League too. The sheer image of the guy's arms flailing around in video game form should - ideally - have been enough to warrant an appearance in Injustice's sequel, but ol' Eel has had to settle for a minor comic book appearance for now.

Having a stretchy character is kind of essential in superhero media; Marvel has Mr Fantastic, Disney has Elastigirl and Hasbro has Stretch Armstrong. I mean come on, NetherRealm, Injustice is majorly deficient in the stretchy dude category at the mo'.
